The
gamescom website does not yet reflect the news, but
2K Games announces that Evolve took the best in show award at the
trade show, which was one of five awards Turtle Rock's four-versus-one
multiplayer shooter won out of 13 that were handed out, saying this is the most
official gamescom awards for any single game. Here's word:

2K and Turtle

10 people are sitting at a table. 1 person just bitches and moans about everything and is never happy. They get up and leave the table. Now another person starts bitching and moaning about the person who was bitching and moaning and the other 8 people are now dealing with 2 people they don't want to listen to.

Why would you pick this topic to express that? We're being pretty fair in both praise and criticism of this game and its based on experience. You're the one acting like an entitled brat here, as if the rest of us need to dance to the tune you want and nothing else.

It is always telling that the ones to use the entitlement argument the most are the ones who are the truly entitled ones as if we had to hear their verbal diarrhea and agree with all of it. Case in point, this raptor guy.

Your 'point' makes no sense. How do we even measure it? If one person has a negative reaction then suddenly no one else counts? People comment positively about things all the time, hell people did it in this fucking topic. You're just seeing what you want to see. Gushing unreservedly would be stupid and is just the opposite of what you're accusing other people of.

You realize you just made a negative comment, right?

Sorry my actual gameplay impressions weren't sufficiently hyped up for you, perhaps I can suggest reading some magazines made by Gamestop or something. TRUE NEXT GEN EXPERIENCE WOW DONT THINK BUY NOW PREORDER!!!! Is that better?

You take correctly, aside from the issue that the game is ZERO challenge if you play it with proper game geeks it's also extremely boring to me.

That said, I am starting to get REALLY bored of modern shooters altogether... BF3 BF4.. it's all one giant fucking blur... more shooters with new ideas aren't really a bad thing, but forced COOP isn't what I am after...

This isnt the first "lots versus one big guy" game. Giants: Citizen Kabuto has two teams building bases while a single player runs around as Kabuto, basically being a dick to both teams. Unfortunately one of the two base-building factions has an absurdly effective way to take out Kabuto, and they can also steal base builders (which are limited in number on the map), which there is no way for the other side to recover them. It's broken, but came out back when multiplayer was for fun only.

Get some friends together to play it. It's not a super pretty game anymore, but the multiplayer is one of a kind. Name another game where you gather the resources and research the ability to build a three person gyrocopter, which you joyfully fly out over your base, and as you look down, a giant blue gorilla throws a two-legged sheep at you. Or maybe you JUST get your force field wall up around your base, and that giant blue gorilla jumps over it and does a belly flop right on your weapons factory. Then he eats one of your teammates, snatches YOU up, and impales you on a horn as a snack for later. Despite the flaws, it's incredibly fun.

There's and old Quake 3 mod similar to this, I want to say Goliath mod but it was ages ago. Players switch between normal with one person as the giant robot with super weapons. Who ever kills the giant robot becomes it, winner is who ever spent the most time as the robot. It was crazy fun and I played a tun of it at lan parties. So 4v1 'can' work and 'can' be crazy fun.

Have they showed a match from hunter pov yet? Sure the monsters are cool but I want to see hunter options, powers, upgrading, what ever.
